About us

Steinigke Showtechnic is
one of the biggest distributors for show equipment in Europe.

With our brands Eurolite,
Omnitronic, Futurelight, PSSO, Alutruss, Omnilux and Europalms we do
primarily cover the fields of light, sound and decoration. With
Dimavery we have our own brand for musical instruments.

Steinigke products can be
found all over the world. Whether on live stages of world stars such
as Rihanna, 50 Cent or national acts like the German band Brings,
whether in discotheques, theaters, training and youth centers or at
stores and booth construction – our products are meant to be for
both professionals and amateurs. It applies to all, it applies to
you:

Steinigke Showtechnic –
your connection to the world of show

We are offering such
a wide range of products, a comparable one is hardly to be found in
the industry – this exemplifies
Steinigke.

As full-range supplier we
do not focus on one, but on several domains. In this manner we are
able to present a substantial range to our customers. This makes it
possible for our customers to equip a discotheque without several
different partners, for example.

Artificial plants –
unique for a technical wholesale dealer

In addition to the
technical brands we established Europalms as a basis to combine
technical devices and decoration objects. It is definitely a great
benefit for everybody to offer simultaneously light and sound
equipment as well as decoration. Thus, our partners can serve a group
of customers several times – the customers on the other side, have no
need to search for new providers.

Instruments as special
feature for the musical instrument business

The Dimavery instruments
series rounds up our basic product range of the most common musical
instruments. Again, there is a connection given to the technical
assortment: Musicians on stages or in studios have a great interest
in sound and light products. Music stores in particular can benefit
and, without any additional effort, get their instruments as well as
their technical devices delivered from only one partner – and
Steinigke is this partner.

Mission
Statement/Our Philosophy

A trusting
partnership with our customers forms the basis. Without a close and
honest connection, collective success is impossible. But that
exactly is our goal: collective success with our partners.

For this
reason we want our partners to experience the best support possible,
implying a high quality standard in combination with fair pricing and
a personal service. Although everything gets more digital each day
and the Internet is providing the most information – call us and
you will always find someone to talk to. At Steinigke your contact
person has a real face.

Home
to/for Everybody

Whether for
the discotheque, concert stage or father's garage (practice rooms):
our products are developed to cover many fields of application. And
our products are developed to serve both professionals and beginners.
We ensure that no-one is left behind and put at a disadvantage.

Act
Responsibly

In our daily
business it is essential to deal properly with the responsibility as
producer, wholesaler, employer and for some, as competitor.

This is
proven by strict implementation of regulations and laws within
product manufacturing – we are aware of what we owe to the end
customers. This is also proven by the loyalty towards our location –
we are aware of what we owe our region and our staff. Furthermore, it
is shown in the fair and respectful relationships to our partners –
we know how to behave.

In our branch
responsibility also implies security and constant improvement of
security standards. Therefore, our in-house engineering team examines
the reliability of our products every single day and develops new
concepts. Not for nothing are we in a leading role considering the
introduction of security measures, such as the security motor for
mirror balls.

Environment
in Mind

Environment
protection and sustainability are popular terms indeed. But by virtue
of their reputation/brilliance they are often exploited and not
really filled with life. This is not what we want.

We
just want you to know that environmental aspects play a big role in
all of our business deliberations. Nothing but hot air? Not if you
think of our photovoltaic system for example. We had solar cells
installed on all rooftops of our warehouses and office buildings –
total space of all modules is more than 4,000
square meters. It is one of the biggest of its kind in southern
Germany. With this roof system we are able to save 320 tons CO² a
year. Some additional eco-friendly facts: our pellet heating and our
heat exchangers (server rooms).

Legal
regulation might often help to protect the environment. However, this
is only possible as long as guidelines are implemented without
compromise. To guarantee the implementation Steinigke has, among
other things, established a department for disposal and recovered
substance cycle. This department fulfills the European Union
Directive 2002/95/EC on the restriction of the use of certain
hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS).
For Steinigke this is not a necessary evil, but a responsible
mission, we attend/meet willingly.

Social
commitment

As employer
we are depending on our staff's performance. This can only work if
the basic conditions are all worked out. Steinigke always tries to
create perfect basic conditions. This includes for example flexible
working times, reintegration after parental leave, family days,
health promotion or appreciation and support of honorary office.
Steinigke is a family company and as an employee you are, of course,
part of that family.

Team

Bernd Steinigke, Managing Director Matthias Schwab, Managing Director

A
company like Steinigke Showtechnic only functions with a strong and
big team. Below we want to give you an insight in the most important
departments of our company.

Head
of Management

Although
we always come to a decision as a team through dialogue, there have
to be those who show us in which direction to head. In times of huge
cold blooded conglomerates we are proud to be an owner-managed company.
Here, real people with real faces and real passion stand with their
name for their own business.

We
will be glad to discuss your needs over the phone or by e-mail. We
are looking forward to solicit your orders and attend to you as
considerately as possible, to some extent even directly on your site.
Our 25-strong team employs product specialists for all sectors. There
is always a competent point of contact for your needs.

We
look forward to your visit and would love to present you our
up-to-date products in our showroom.
A
short detour from the Autobahn 3 is always worth it.

Practice-oriented
and experienced colleagues are looking forward to advise you directly
on site. Here you have the possibility to catch up on our latest
products and seasonal installations. Our big showroom provides
the possibility to see our products in action and to combine and test
them in different arrangements. Go and give it a try. Our
logistic guarantees, you will be able to take the desired goods without
a long wait. If it comes to bulk orders please inform us in time,so
we can avoid you having to wait.

Thanks
to our approvals at customs we are able to faciliate a quick and secure
delivery of your goods.

Employees
from all over Europe are represented in our team. They attend our
multilingual sellers and facilitate your contact to us. We serve
every customer in every country individually and according to their
regional needs. You can find further information here.

All
year, our product managers and technicians are on their mission to find and
to develop the best products for you. Thanks to large purchased
volumes we can offer great conditions for our costumers.

The
close cooperation with our production sites over the years makes it
possible to customize our products to the needs of our customers and
to always have an eye on the product quality

Before
a product comes onto the market, you can be sure it has been
thoroughly examined by our quality control. We not only follow the
valid guidelines of the EU, but also employ independent testing
agencies.

Our
biggest department concludes the incoming goods, the optimized storage
and the on time shipping. Having a storage capacity of 24,000 pallet
positions and a daily output of several lorry-loads a day, a good
organization is essential.

Usually,
your ordered goods leave us the very same day. The quick processing
is made possible by an up-to-date high-bay warehouse, a storage area
for small parts – just expanded in 2010, the user-friendly packing
station, several automatically controlled paternoster cabinets for
small parts and the roller conveyor.

The
work with technically well-devised products often raises questions
which need to be answered. We are aware of that fact and provide a
quick and easy help for our costumers. The experienced technicians of
our master workshop solve problems and fix bugs quick and reliably.
The processing status of your device can easily be followed using
your customer account. This is made possible by the meticulous work
of our service employees. We are able to provide spares even for
older devices – thanks to our automatic spare storage.

Without
advertising, even the best products would remain unknown. We produce
all of our advertising material on our own, whether for the printed
or online section. All of our photos, videos, catalogs,
advertisements and brochures are created here. By request we even
produce individual advertising material for our customers, or supply
them with adequate materials.

Steinigke
is well-known for its easy readable and in-detail manuals. Again, the implementing happens in our building –
this involves translations, parts list and wiring diagrams and all
the relevant data needed for the retail.

The
heart of an up-to-date company is the infrastructure and a suitable
software solution. Since 1984, Steinigke relies on the development of
an own ERP section, which covers all needs: from warehouse
management, maintenance master data for articles and products up to
the e-mail communication. The continuous further development of that
complex system happens in-house and ensures us the flexibility both
we and our customers expect.

Our
online platform is another task of our IT department. This is
primarily about further development as well as the maintenance of all
connected systems and websites.
Many
of these systems provide direct links to our customers. This may
include an easy data transfer as well as a complex web service for
external ERP systems (more information can be found at Online World).

The
core of our modern infrastructure consists of two self-sufficient
server rooms. This is where you can find our systems for data
storage, as well as our application clusters responsible for the
around the clock availability of applications. Modern network
technology ensures a smooth flow and a close to 100% availability of
our systems for our customers and us.

Trademarks

Steinigke Showtechnic GmbH
is manufacturer, product developer and distributor under one roof.
The product range includes more than 7,000 articles with the eight
own brands Eurolite, Futurelight, Omnitronic, PSSO, Alutruss,
Omnilux, Europalms and Dimavery. Only a small part of the range is
covered with trademarks like Neutrik, Osram, Philips,
Sylvania, Antari, Sommer Cable, GE, Rigport or Perris.

Why own brands?

Own brands require much
effort and investment – development, production, control and
marketing for example. But the advantages, especially for the
customers, are numerous.

Developmental
sovereignty

Steinigke Showtechnic is
not bound to any guidelines of other manufacturers and has to buy
their products or wait for their developments. We can decide on our
own what to produce and when and make our own ideas come true.
Furthermore, we are able to modify our products in direct
communication with our customers – the experience of our customers
can only be advantageous for us. We can also include changes
for newly developed products and get them to the production stage.
Our imagination knows no bounds.

Our own prices

The price of a product is
important. By having its own brands Steinigke is able to co-determine
the price – by ordering a larger quantity for example. It has
always been our ambition to ensure that everyone is able to afford
our professional show equipment. This is possible through our
excellent price-performance ratio – so everyone can benefit from
it.

Quality standards

Finally, Steinigke defines
and implements its own standards for production and controls. Whether
it comes to material selection, functioning or safety aspects: it is
essential to guarantee a high level. Only in this way, we can ensure to produce high-quality products at a reasonable price. The
products of Steinigke Showtechnic GmbH are outstanding. Although the
outer appearance mind remind you of competing products, the
differences are given.

History

1979

In the 70´s Bernd and
Klaus Steinigke construct their first amplifiers, mixers, jukeboxes
and lighting management systems. To show their products in action,
the brothers perform as mobile DJs and sell their first products to
other mobile discotheques in the Würzburg area.

Their passion for show
technology equipment awakens and eventually, they come up with the
idea of renting and selling light and audio equipment to
discotheques, the event catering industry or music concerts. The
company “Steinigke Ton-Licht-Effekte“ is founded in Würzburg.
The first sales happen from cellars and a garage.

1985

Steinigke moves to the
city center of Würzburg and participates at the first regional trade
shows. The first adds are placed in trade journals and the trade with
retailers rises. The first catalog is printed in black and white and
distributed to the retailers. In the very same year, Steinigke
Showtechnic begins exporting its products.

1987

The first warehouse is
rented in Zell am Main, a suburb of Würzburg. Now there was
sufficient space for the 3 employees and the huge amount of stored
products.

1990

Steinigke has its first
appearance at the Frankfurt Musikmesse (music exposition). Two years
before, import started from Italy, Spain and England.

1991

Until this time,
Steinigke only sells trademarks. That changes with the introduction of a development
department and eventually the foundation of its own brand Eurolite.

1992

Premiere of the first
Steinigke product catalog in color.
In these times produced in cooperation with an external
partner, today the whole catalogue range and brocheres are made in house from
the own marketing department.

1993

The brands Alutruss
and Europalms
are launched. The company name changes: by then the company is named
Steinigke Showtechnic GmbH. Furthermore, the next move takes place.
The company moves to Waldbüttelbrunn near Würzburg.

Beside the first own
warehouses and office buildings one of the largest showrooms for
light and audio products in Europe at this time were built as well.

For the first time VHS
videos are produced for light effects and the first products from far
east were imported. The company has now 20 employees.

1994

Futurelight is
the second light brand being presented. Steinigke opens the first
show technology mailbox in Europe. Although slowly, price lists,
offers and further information can be retrieved via a dial-up modem.

1995

The first Internet
presence is launched. The lamp brand Omnilux
is patented. The expansion requires the building of a second
warehouse.

first audio brand: Omnitronic. After ten years of exporting,
Steinigke customers can be found in over 50 different nations around
the world–even outside of Europe.

1997

A further expansion of the
company building is necessary - the third warehouse is erected on the
existing structure. The company has as many as 60 employees and
stretches across more than 10,000 m².

amplifiers. Special installation boxes from the same series as the line array
are rounding the assortment.

2006

The biggest building
segment so far is completed and inaugurated. The new warehouse no. 4
is equipped with a computerized semi-automatic storage and retrieval
system with over 23,000 pallet places and a large office block.

Movinglight of the year ) and the Eurolite LED PAR-56 RGB Spot (
journal “Tastenwelt”, category: practical suitability ).

The 8 container-docks ensure a steady flow of incoming and outgoing goods. Per
day Steinigke´s warehouse team handles several oversea-containers.

2007

The entrance area is
redesigned. The new building section includes besides an additional
office block a bistro and a new and enlarged showroom area. The total
company space boasts 20,000 m² on an area of about 30,000 m².The
number of employees rises to 150.

The reader of the journal
“Soundcheck” voted for the Eurolite LED PAR-64 Spot as effect
floodlight of the year.

celebrates its 30th anniversary and for this occasion invites
hundreds of guests to a summer party on the company ground.

With the takeover of the
brand Dimavery the product line does now include music instruments as
well.

2010

A new warehouse is built
to extend the shipment area.
Thanks to this new dispatch-area especially for bulky
shipments the handling is more efficient and faster.

in short: a new online world.

Even as a medium-sized enterprise amidst large companies, the jury was impressed. Particular mention was our flexibility regarding the workplace design, notably the work schedule, our part-time arrangements, as well as our flexible work-time model in general, which within the framework of the terms of employment, is exercised based on the individual responsibility of the employees.

2013

COB-LED technology has been established. in 2012 Steinigke was the first in the industry to introduce the new LED technology. Now the COB products can be found all around, such as at the famous Ultra Music Festival in Miami (USA).
